Hey guys i have an ati radeon 9250 and lately its been overheating when i play games like 1.6 and WoW

i was just wondering if there are any free ways i can cool my vid card with things found around the house? TY!

(i think its overheating due to the temp around melbourne right now..)

open side of your case, and put a fan blowing on it... it works for me at least (tho my legs get cold ><)^^ oh and if u have crappy fans on your case.. just opening your case may help.. cuz it helps me

Liquid nitrogen.

Open a goddamn window.

Unplug anything you don't need from the computer

Remove it and run it under a cold tap for a while.

Turn the graphics settings down a notch.

Open the computer up, get a breeze flowing through, and go do something else for a while.

If the card has a fan, make sure its not clogged up with dust.

Open your case and spray the hose in there.

Yes i have a fire hydrant sized one i use. Also, i often notice my processor gets hot so i took off that stupid metal thing that blocks the fan from blowing on the chip and that fixed it.
